RECONSIDERATION: RESOLUTION 18-13 – A RESOLTION OF THE VILLAGE OF LOS LUNAS AND HUNING RANCH AREA PLAN, and 2. RECONSIDERATION: RESOLUTION 18-14 – A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE OF LOS LUNAS ADOPTING THE SIERRA VISTA AREA PLAN. Ms. Christina Ainsworth presented both items one and two together. The first request is to remove that area from the Huning Ranch area plan and the second item is to approve a new area plan for that particular property. The main difference is – the two plans are very similar and there were some issues – there was opposition, but has been resolved between parties. Recap, property owners have agreed to limit the density to two dwellings per acre and the medium density residential 3 to 5 dwellings units per acre. Gas stations are prohibited and it was agreed in the multi-family residential there would be a two-story height maximum. Planning & Zoning met yesterday and did recommend approval of both items. Mayor Griego asked council if they had any questions – there were none. Mayor Griego asked if the developers had anything to say. Mr. Tim Stascer of Consensus Planning spoke in favor. Mr. Ron Saskin of Jubilee Board of Directors was happy that they reached an agreement. Mayor Griego then asked the audience if there were any comments – there were none.

ORDINANCE 429 – AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDANCE 439, THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING REGULATIONS AND ZONE MAP ATLAS IN ORDER TO REVISE 17.48.030 – BUILDING SETBACK REQUIREMENTS. Ms. Christina Ainsworth presented item four. This ordinance is to amend the setback requirements. The main reason that this has come up, is that there is an existing development that is over in the TOD area – there are townhomes on that property. Because they are so small, they are built back to the setback line and in the backyard there is no area to put a shade structure. With the amendment is to allow a small encroachment for an open patio. It would only be allowed to be 180 sq. ft. encroachment width and can be no closer than 5 ft. Planning & Zoning did recommend approval. Mayor Griego asked if there any comments from council – there were none. Mayor Griego asked the audience if there were any comments – there was none. Mayor Griego asked for a motion to close the public hearing.
